Ernie Els Wines Wine

As one of South Africa's leading
ambassadors and one of the most
recognisable faces in the world of
sport, it is befitting that Ernie chose
South Africa and Stellenbosch to
produce his wine.
The idea was born from Ernie Els and
based on the vision to produce a wine
that would capture everything that
Ernie stands for: big in stature and
gentle in character.
In 1999, Ernie established Ernie Els
Vineyards and in December 2004,
opened his dream cellar on the slopes
of the Helderberg Mountain in
Stellenbosch.
Since its launch Ernie Els Wines has
established a magnificent portfolio of
South African red wines offering quality
wines for everyone at various different
price-points. In the summer of 2011
two new white wines were also added
to the portfolio. Ernie's passion for
these wines, combined with winemaker
Louis Strydom's considerable talents,
has proved a winning combination.
Ernie Els Wines has won plaudits and
many prestigious awards around the
world and the team continues to make
a big impact on both the South African
and international wine markets.
A total of eight wines is now housed
under the Ernie Els Wines portfolio.
The Ernie Els Signature is the flagship
wine. In addition there are five other
reds - the Ernie Els Proprietor’s Blend,
the Big Easy, the Ernie Els Proprietor’s
Syrah, the Ernie Els Cabernet
Sauvignon and the Ernie Els Merlot -
plus two white wines in the form of the
Ernie Els Big Easy white, a light Chenin
Blanc, and the Ernie Els Sauvignon
Blanc.
